My family had the best time at this beautiful home. Total winter wonderland! Masha and Leon were so hospitable. My family felt welcomed from the booking until the day we left. It was our family reunion that will be in our memories forever. We have already spoken about doing it again in spring or summer.. This is a vacation spot that all will enjoy! From youngest to oldest

Amazing weekend in the Poconos!

The perfect place for a weekend away with a group of friends. We golfed at nearby Jack Frost National, and the proximity could not have been better. The property itself is beautiful and stands out among the other houses in the neighborhood. There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for our larger group. We will be back!

Fun for All

Fantastic family event with a good time had by all. We enjoyed the lovely, spacious home with all of the amenities. The outside grounds were very well manicured - the hot tub and fire pit were a plus. Kids really enjoyed the beach area. Easy to navigate the water with the beach devices provided. Would absolutely recommend for a relaxing get-away. Masha is an excellent hostess who is very attentive to your requests.

Weekend Birthday Getaway!

Let me just say, if you are on the fence about renting this property, stop thinking and just book it! My girlfriend and I and a group of 8 other people stayed here for a birthday weekend getaway and it was everything and more we wanted! Masha the host was the most accommodating host I have dealt with and everything was perfect! From the pool table, to the hot tub, to the fire pit, everything was so cozy and we all had such a good time! The kitchen was stocked with all the appliances we needed and the bedrooms had all the linens needed as well. We went mid December and can not wait to come back in the summer! 5 out of 5 stars!

Pocono's Most Luxurious Hot Tub; Amazing Winter'23 Experience

The homeowner, Masha, did above & beyond for myself and friends to make our stay more than excellent this winter. The amenities provided at her home, emails received with local food places, and things to do, along with the beautiful lake and park around the block were absolutely outstanding. There are simply not enough words to say on how amazing this experience was and how YOU NEED TO JUST BOOK! Trust me. Stop looking, and book. Clean house, linens, provides toiletries, amazing amenities to use, updated appliances, forgot a toothbrush? No worries! She has everything ready for you!! More than you think a hotel would even have. I even brought my own coffee machine because I didn't know what to expect, but didn't need it - she had THREE options for making coffee in the morning!!!! THANK YOU MASHA!! Looking forward to our next stay!

Perfect

This house was exactly what we were looking for. It is located on a quiet street, had an abundant of beds/bed rooms, and more than enough space for almost a dozen people to not feel cramped. The house, especially the bathrooms were clean, and filled with fresh/never opened knick knacks that friends may have forgotten to bring. Our hosts were readily available to answer any questions we had leading up to, or during our stay. One piece of advice to guests. We were always able to get an Uber where we were going, but wait times can be long, prepare for such in advance!! Thank you!

My sister's bachelorette party

I rented this house for my sisters bachelorette weekend. This ended up being the perfect house for a large group of girls. The house is gorgeous and spacious with so much to do. The hosts are quick to respond with any questions and are extremely helpful. They supply you with everything you need at the house. The private lake was amazing and we enjoyed using the paddle boat to cruise around the lake. I highly recommend staying here. My whole group had a blast.

Excellent All Around

The property is exactly as advertised (it lives up to the gorgeous photos!). It is well-maintained, full of amenities and entertainments, and perfectly suited for a reunion of friends, bachelor party, or other get together. The thing that truly sets this property apart, however, is the attentiveness and responsiveness of the host. Masha is wonderful and goes out of her way to make every phase of the rental process run smoothly. Check-in and check-out were easy, with flexible arrival and departure times to meet the group's needs. Masha thoroughly inspected the property before the group's arrival to make sure that everything was ready for the visit, leaving a gift for the guest of honor and offering courtesy firewood for the fire pit. Later, she even found a wallet that one guest had lost outside the property and mailed it back free of charge. I cannot recommend this property enough. 5 stars!

Matt-your feedback is super important and greatly appreciated! While you are the first guest ever to bring up the cleanliness we would have been happy to send you a housekeeping crew to address the situation. I just wish you had mentioned anything upon checking in or during your 4 night stay. We would have been happy to address the issue. Thanks again for choosing to stay with us.

Oneof the BEST houses in Poconos! Property that feels like your private mini resort - 10/10!

This was the second time my group and I booked Masha’s home because we enjoyed it so much the first time. Black Bear House was one of, if not the best VRBO experiences I have ever had. The place is absolutely stunning. The pictures look great, but it doesn't do justice compared to in person! The interior is beautiful with high ceilings and our group really appreciated the large open area for everyone to hang out. The layout is perfect and we loved the room set up and appreciated the linens and amenities provided! Oversized wrap around deck with many seating areas. Outdoor area is simply amazing: HUGE lawn that we utilized as our cricket field and our croquet field and our soccer field etc. Almost forgot the best part - we were allowed to put a TENT for our teens to sleep at. The fire pit is a great spot to sit and relax at night or really any time! The instructions were simple yet detailed. Every question we had along the way Masha was quick to respond and was always a pleasure to speak with. The location is also close to several hiking spots that we enjoyed! We couldn't have asked for a better location, we had privacy but was also convenient if we needed to go to the store. Overall a great experience. 10/10! Would definitely book again!
